How Would Be Life Without Computer?

January 11, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Computer has completely taken over our life. You just cannot imagine life without computer these days given the amount of dependency on it. We are over dependent on the computer these days. All our works rely upon the computer. Just imagine the life without computer.

There will be long queue in front of the airline travels, railway station, bus station and everywhere for buying tickets manually. Every person has to physically go to the stations to get their tickets. This would result in increase in traffic across the world. There will be waste of time as well as money. They would require more people to issue tickets and handle the customers. Everything that was done automatically will now has to be done manually by multiple persons this increasing the work load.

The second worst thing that we may come across is the online shopping. There won’t be any online shopping thus it would lead to increase of people in the shopping malls etc and this increase the traffic & also pollution. All those things which a person used to do by sitting at home will now has to be done manually by stepping out. This would really be a big problem.

The next would be banking. We see so many facilities today such as internet banking, mobile banking etc. All this is possible only because of computer and internet technologies. You can expect to transfer money and even make online transactions with the help of online banking etc.

All these things are made possible only with the help of computer the one amazing technology. We just cannot imagine the life without computer. Can we? It might take us centuries back. All the progress made in the recent times will be lost.

Use Caution With Banking-Related Emails

December 18, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Internet identity thieves are persistent in trying to get your personal information. Sometimes they use bold moves such as hacking into a company website and stealing it. There are also more subtle ways, which are unfortunately quite successful. These include tricking you into giving it to them yourself, usually through an official-looking email or website.

Don’t respond to emails that ask for confidential information such as a credit card number, bank account number or password. Identity thieves send emails designed to look like they are from your bank, usually with an urgent message regarding account security. If your bank needed to contact you, they would leave a phone message with a verifiable phone number.

Don’t respond to any emails that refer to a supposed problem with your account, or asking you to verify information via email. A bank or credit card company will never ask for your account password, nor will they ask you to send your account number through email. These emails look real because they feature the bank’s logo, but they are high-quality fakes. It’s best to delete these emails without opening them.

Never click on a link in an email. These links will take to you a fake website to get you to enter your information there. If you think there is a problem with your account, always type the URL in your browser yourself. This is the only way to make sure you are going to the real site.

Many sites let you choose a security phrase or image to display. Because you choose the image yourself, a spoofed site will never display this image. Be sure it displays each time you sign into the site.

Many spoofed sites and emails are so well done they almost fool the experts. When in doubt, call the number on the back of your card to verify the status of your account.
